Howdy everypony! So after FORTY hours of work over four days, I've finally managed to complete the two Pinkie Pie rigs that I'll be using in my upcoming Pinkie Pie Animation for my 2D Character I class here at the Savannah College of Art & Design. For those of you unfamiliar with animating using nested symbols in flash, here's the short and sweet description:

ALL of those parts are nested within the two rigs to the right. They are set so that there are master symbols of each category, and when set to "single frame" in the looping option under properties - typing in any of the numbers listed below each part will make it appear. I'll be posting a video tutorial on how to use these two rigs after I've finished animating with them myself. So stay tuned for that! ^^

You can find the previous version of this puppet sheet, as well as the rough animation to my short below:

Also - for some examples of this rig in action - here are some links to my currently completed key poses:

I'll actually be updating tomorrow with the Twilight Sparkle Puppet Rig, several backgrounds, and an official Double Rainboom website. Sorry for not submitting anything lately (I've been pretty busy with this animation).

Yeah - they took MegaUpload down - I've been working on updating the puppet with new parts, as well as creating a side, front, worm's eye, & bird's eye in addition to the existing 3Q - which is why I haven't reuploaded her. The new puppets will be released here in about 3-4 weeks.

Please Please PLEASE keep working on this. This is AMAZING. Here I was thinking I could do a simple little animation for YouTube, and you sir, deserve ALL my respects. I'm waiting on the edge of my seat for you to re-release the .fla file!

Thanks! I worked pretty hard on it. I'm currently working on updating the puppet with about 200 new parts - as well as a Side and Front rig. After all of those are done - I'll reupload the entire package at once.

Shweet! If you feel like waiting - within the next two weeks I should have an updated version of this posted - as well as one for Twilight Sparkle and Rainbow Dash - including a 3Q, Front, and Side rig for all three.
